Windows 10 Creators Update SDK Preview

This is a preview of DirectXMath 3.10 that was shipped in the Windows 10 Creators Update SDK Preview builds (15003, 15021,15042,15052).

Windows 10 Anniversary Update SDK (14393)

DirectXMath 3.09 released in the Windows 10 Anniversary Update SDK (14393) and is included in Visual Studio 2015 Update 3 with Windows Tools 1.4.1.

• Includes support for additional optimizations when built with /arch:AVX or /arch:AVX2
• Added use of constexpr for type constructors, XMConvertToRadians, and XMConvertToDegrees

  • These are vestiges of Xbox 360 support and will be removed in a future release.
• Renamed parameter in XMMatrixPerspectiveFov* to reduce user confusion when relying on IntelliSense
• XMU565, XMUNIBBLE4 constructors take uint8_t instead of int8_t
